What this release is

The monthly employment report — payroll growth, the unemployment rate and wage gains — is among the most closely watched scheduled releases. A weak print tends to raise rate-cut expectations and lift bonds; a strong one tends to do the reverse. It usually lands on the first Friday of the month.
